New to zWave here.
As we're building a new home my wife and I are putting a lot of time into designing the lighting.
For most rooms we are putting in at least two separate light circuits so we can have some variety and control. For example, the kids' bedrooms will have a central light on one switch but also have some recessed lights on a separate dimmable switch. The kitchen and great room are each likely to have three different circuits for various light moods.
From what I've been reading it seems like zWave control can be fully managed at the wall switch itself and these can be upgraded over time. So we don't need to install any special or specific lighting fixtures and can install standard light switches on most circuits initially. We can put zWave swtiches on maybe just a half dozen circuits during the initial build and configure these in HS and over time as we want we just buy a new zWave-based light switch to swap in other circuits as we want and can afford.
Is it really this easy or am I missing something?
advTHANKSance!
